I pondered that. The fat books that transitioned me (*) from Windoze to BSDI, then BSDI to Redhat Linux, were Evi Nemeth's "Unix System Administration Handbook", editions 1 and 3. There is a 5th and probably final 2018 edition - I just ordered a used copy, to torment those who dispose of my books after I die. I wondered, what became of Evi Nemeth? In 2001, Dr. Nemeth retired to her sailboat and sailed the world - a long long way from her CU-Boulder professorship. In June 2013, she and the crew of the vintage yacht Niña were lost in a huge storm in the Tasman Sea between New Zealand and Australia. Sigh. Keith (*) Now I transition to Ubuntu from Redhat, another great community monetized to ruin by "the suits". Ubuntu is Debian in a tight skirt with red lipstick. When some bastard figures out how to monetize and ruin Debian, I'm doomed. -- Keith Lofstrom [email protected]
